| Description: |
Social Exclusion is a general terms that refers to what happens when people and/or areas suffer a variety of linked problems such as unemployment, low income, poor housing, high crime and poor health. In 1997 the prime minister set up the Social Exclusion Unit to improve government action on social exclusion. |
| Synopsis: |
Social exclusion is a key problem for policy makers, researchers and professionals worldwide. Despite this, the debate lacks a dominant disciplinary focus. This innovative handbook covers evidence from key research and policy to offer cross-disciplinary perspectives on major areas of social exclusion. Focusing on central policy domains including education, healthcare and crime, it is structured so as to relate evidence to the state of social exclusion and the mechanisms by which it can be tackled. It book will be an unrivalled reference for academics and practitioners working across disciplines including housing, education, psychology, political science, healthcare, sociology and law. |
